C++/Bounds cannot be obtained.

Bounds cannot be obtained.

ArchiCAD27/Win10
I am creating an add-on with VisualStudioC++2019.

When I place one column and one beam and try to obtain the bounds for each, the following values are returned:

xMin = 1.0 yMin = 1.0 zMin = 1.0 xMax = -1.0 yMax = -1.0 zMax = -1.0 Guid=6A873A33-3449-4C7F-A140-36D4C8FF3B16 BoundsMin 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 BoundsMax -1.000000 -1.000000 -1.000000 Volume 0.325369 Guid=51ED5443-8EE8-4C02-AE2D-1E58540E5CDD BoundsMin 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 BoundsMax -1.000000 -1.000000 -1.000000 Volume 0.049327

Bounds is
ACAPI_ModelAccess_Get3DInfo(head, &info3D);
The function return value is NOERROR.
Why does Bounds return such a fixed value?

Hi, You're right, it seems be a bug. As a workaround, please try the following code for getting the bounds of element.

API_Box3D box{};

err = ACAPI_Element_CalcBounds(&head, &box);

HTH.
